The Comcast Bite of Seattle: Post event coverage

The sun came out all weekend and shined it’s light on over 150 acts that converged at the Seattle Center for the Comcast Bite of Seattle this past weekend. With summer sun and hot temperatures comes summer music festivals. There have been some great festivals already up and down the coast. It does not get much bigger and better than the Comcast Bite of Seattle. We were very fortunate to get turned on to some great new music from bands like Perry Acker, Jacob Merlin, and Keegan Smith.

It was great to see the return of Dan Reed (Dan Reed Network), who played a beautiful and haunting acoustic set to the delight of his fans. SMI also had the opportunity to chat with sax man Darren Motamedy, who always puts a smile on the crowds faces. These folks will definitely be future guests on SMI Radio. In the meantime, you can listen to this week’s episode below

SMI Radio Episode 12 featuring one of the participants in the event, Sonic Funk Orchestra is now up. You can check out the show and download it below. For more information about this great band, go here.

I discovered this record while driving back during break with buddies during my first year of college Western Washington University. 40 years ago. We must have played it 3 times all the way through. It kind of became part of my Soundtrack. It is Rock n' Roll theater in pure form. This record included members of the E Street Band and you hear the contribution and influence in the arrangements. The music is bombastic, theatrical, complex arrangements and over the top which was a huge contrast in what was happening in rock at the time (Punk / New Wave) That is why I love it so! 😎 www.youtube.com/watch… Meat Loaf "Bat Out A Hell"Happy Labor Day! - Love Greg ...
